Russian exile found dead in London

Nikolai Glushkov, who received political asylum in the United Kingdom, was found dead at his London home on Monday by friends and family. Police said he committed suicide but Glushkov told The Guardian in 2013 that he suspected foul play.

They added there is no evidence to suggest the death is linked to the incident in Salisbury, where a former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia were poisoned with nerve agent which the United Kingdom government believes came from Russia.

Glushkov's death came a week and a day after fellow Russian exile Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia were critically injured in a nerve agent attack in Salisbury.

He was found dead on Monday night.

The death of a 69-year-old Russian man in London is being investigated by counter-terrorism police, Scotland Yard has said. A post-mortem examination will be held in due course. "If there is a change in the status of the investigation, an update will be provided", the Met said.
